So whats the score, the moderatores are letting you on for the easter holidays?

As much as i would love to make up a story about me sleeping with one of the mods(was told to keep that quiet though;)), or them missing me too much. I had a weeks ban. And its now up. So i am back.
Basicly. Much to a few peoples displeasure i guess:evil:;)

Oh I have started a fixed!

By that I mean found a possibly suitable frame at the skip and not touched it after lobbing it into my garage ontop of my other "project"

I'll get pictures within the next few days. Thing is the drop outs are completely horizontal... :S

They are ment to be horizontal you nob, better for fixed to get the tension right:rolleyes:
Forward facing or rear?

Forward facing. If it isn't up to being a fixed frame then that is fine, I'll build it up into a hack bike

You can indeed build it into fixed. My first fixed had forward facing horizontal ones.
You dont have as much room to mess about with like i do with my track ones, because they arent as long, but it will still be able to be built into a fixed.
What width are the ack drop outs?
If they are 130mm, you might find it hard to get a back wheel ready built due to the axle not being long enough on the hub. Some are fine and can just put 2 5mm spaces on and the hub fits(could take abit out of the spacer if you need and squeexe the frame in, but i didnt)
If its 130mm and you want to do it properly, look for a 130mm hub built up to a wheel, or get the fixed/fixed hubs from SJS(come front and back) and get it built up.
I have this back hub in mine and its a good hub. Done alot of miles and has been absued and its fine. I have it on a cxp33 rim aswell, so it looks nice and its rock solid:thumbsup:
